Slim Lead for Hui
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Phil Hui limped on the button, and Veerachai Vongxaiburana checked in the big blind. The 4♦J♠5♥ flop produced a pair of checks, and the 10♦ turn hit the felt.
Vongxaiburana checked again, making the call after Hui fired 500,000 into the middle.
Action slowed again on the 4♠ river, as both players checked it down.
"Nines," said Vongxaiburana, but they were no good as Hui tabled J♠8♣7♣3♣2♥ for jacks and fours to take a slight chip lead.
